Zamorak defeated Zaros by appealing to the masters of these 12 legions of Avernic demons. These masteres were Chthonian, coming from Erebus. This is not the only connection that the Infernal Source has with Erebus.

You can find Dagon at the bottom of the Infernal Source. "Dagon was originally an Aughra Dragonkin who, in order to escape the pain from the curse of Jas, projected his consciousness into a native from the Abyss. After an indeterminate period of being trapped in the Abyss, Dagon and several of his fellow Aughra rallied behind Kalger and projected themselves into the bodies of demons, where they initially ruled Infernus as the Infernals until they were overthrown by the Chthonians.[1] Dagon and his fellow Infernals then returned to the Abyss."
First of all, another connection to Dragons/Dragonkin. Furthermore, another connection with Erebus. Also a connection with the Abyss, important for Runecrafting. Remember needed to use runes to make the infernal sauce?

Also one more thing, transcript 4 of Mystery eyes in their stars -> "here is one trophy in particular I wish to show him when he does - the head of Auriculus . It hangs in a place of pride above the altar below.
The stars are aligning. The purpose of Star Lodge is fulfilled. Long live the Order of Dis."

So again, stars and Auriculus. For the latter we need to take a look at this quote from Zaros in Fate of the Gods
"I once had a pet virius named Ocellus. He and his brother, Auriculus, stood vigil beside my throne, even when it sat empty . Virii are Chthonian pack animals, akin to Avernic hellhounds or your dogs." Now this contains a reference to the Empty Throne Room:

The Empty Throne Room that contained the phrase "ABSCONDITA EST IN ASTRA", which roughly translates from the Infernal language to she is hidden in the stars . The star constellation spells out Jas' name in the middle of the mural, but also the letters "V", "O" and "S" on the sides. The mural can be seen in the Children of Mah quest.

So in Extinction, Zammy decides to go rogue as Seren refuses to kill/destroy the eggs of the Elder Gods. In Twilight of the Gods , Zamorak seized the opportunity to gather his demonic armies from Infernus and bring them to Gielinor through the Infernal Source, having absorbed the power of the Eye of Het before his withdrawal. Once he entrenched himself in the Wilderness Crater and the resurrected Order of Dis secured the Dungeon of Disorder, Zamorak proceeded to launch his invasion of Gielinor: thousands of demons poured through the Infernal Source. Eventually, the World Guardian was able to come up with a plan to re-establish the Edicts of Guthix, but loses their shadow anima powers and all the Gods are banished.

With Zamorak banished, a Zamorakian Civil War breaks out and there is a battle between demons and Daemonheim forces. This comes together with the Wilderness flash events, meaning stars, dragons, evil tree (not sure what the tree means) and hmm Daemonheim, very interesting. That means Dungeoneering. I'll get back to that soon.
In Civil war 3, we return to Desert Power to see the Garden of Het implemented. This is where we can steal items for Runecrafting. And farming (ties in with evil tree?). I found this particularly interesting with a passage from the Eyes in their stars mystery page 1: "I founded this lodge so that we may hide in plain sight. Even the name mocks him [Saradomin], and he does not know it. They think it alludes to his star, that it is reverence for him. Never. He stomps around now, claiming the humans as his own, be they of the empire or not. He snatches up the land and renames it, reshapes it - as if that is enough to claim it. We are embedded here, weeds in his garden."
Probably has nothing to do with it, but it's a funny parallel.
